...A Case Study Analyzing the Integration of Technology and Academic Advising in Higher Education Retention studies have long recognized academic advising as one of the most effective strategies, along with orientation programs and continued academic support, for improving student success at the higher education (university) level. Although it is impossible to tie advising practices directly to retention, good advising can result in many positive outcomes that are also associated with high retention rates, such as effective career and academic planning, overall student satisfaction, familiarity with campus resources and support services, and interaction with staff outside of the classroom (Nutt, 2006, p. 69). As the classroom continues to evolve...

...Advising Paper #1 Once I had gotten the assignment about the advising paper, I went straight away and made my appointment as soon as possible, listing various types of questions to ask my advisor on the day of my appointment. I had gotten all my supplies ready, including my folder which had heaps of paper so I could jot down notes during the meeting. I also brought a list of my short term and long term goals to share with my advisor. I met with the chemistry advisor, Dr. Borgford in the chemistry building at 11:30 a.m. We discussed many topics, first being my short term and long term goals. My short term goals being that I try to make all A’s in all of my classes this semester, never being late or missing a class, and lastly, doing all of the homework assignments. I had thought up only two long term goals, one being, getting at least a 3.5 GPA when finishing my undergraduate program, the other long term goal, being that I get into Samford University for pharmaceutical school. Some of the reasons why I think I could be unsuccessful in accomplishing my goals would be that, like many others, I tend to procrastinate a bit too much. Also, I tend to talk a lot on the phone with my friends and discuss plans that are going to be made on the upcoming weekend. Besides my list of reasons how I would be unsuccessful in fulfilling my goals, I also have some reasons of how I could overcome all my faults that I could make. First and foremost, I believe that being well organized is one of...

This person remains as your support until you graduate from COMPASS.

...of Business DATE: September 28, 2014 SUBJECT: Establish a student organized advising program within the Smith Undergraduate Student Association (SUSA) for potential Smith school applicants Description The majority of University of Maryland College Park undergraduate students intending to pursue degrees from the Robert H. Smith School of Business apply for admittance to the school sometime during their sophomore or junior year. Before acceptance into the program, students are faced with the difficultly of not having access to business specific advisors as well as other resources that could dramatically assist in the process of applying to the school. The Smith School is one of the University of Maryland’s Limited Enrollment Programs, (LEP), where admission to the program is highly competitive. In order to be eligible for review, applicants are required to take a series of eight gateway courses that are each related to the basic fundamentals of business. In addition to ensuring that all of these courses are adequately satisfied, students must also fulfill the additional admission requirements that are each very specific in manner. The entirety of this process, that takes approximately three to four semesters, all must occur without the assistance of an advisor whose expertise is of the Smith school’s standards and procedures. Prospective student’s quest for guidance is left to the advising staff of whichever college they are in prior to applying to the school. This poses...

...The development of the aforementioned adult learning theories seems very similar to the path of academic advising approaches. Just like in the field of adult learning, there is no overarching theory that encompasses all the nuances of academic advising as a field of study and as a practice. Contrarily, academic advising draws upon a wide array of theories, sometimes borrowed from other fields, such as education and the social sciences. According to Hagen and Jordan (2008), various approaches have been identified and suggested as successful models of academic advising. Up until the 1970’s, prescriptive advising was dominant and characterized by a traditional relationship based on authority between the academic advisor and the student. The relationship...

...Theories providing a comprehensive and complimentary approach to careers counsellors advising clients. The three theories I have chosen are Holland’s, ‘Theory of Types’, Supers ‘Life Span Theory ‘and Krumboltz’s Social Learning Theory. These three theories when used in conjunction with each other appear to provide the most comprehensive and complimentary approach for careers counsellors when advising clients. Holland’s Theory of Types is based on the assumption that personality types are reflected in an Individuals choice of employment. Individuals have a natural inclination to gravitate towards like- minded people, who in turn reinforce their ideas and view of the world, and who see things from the same perspective. In the work environment this allows an Individual to play to his strengths and play down his weaknesses. This sense of belonging and acceptance of attitudes, values and aptitudes allows an Individual to feel comfortable, whether that is at home, socially or in the workplace. The degree of fit with the environment in which an Individual finds himself and his view of it, Holland terms congruence i.e. compatibility. Holland uses personality traits to identify an Individuals predisposition towards certain roles. Theory suggests socially adept people will naturally find it easier to work in face to face occupations where contact with the public is a necessity, while realist types who enjoy practical applications in their employment role may be happier behind...

... I did not want to work at a fast food service restaurant because I worked at one before and did not enjoy my time there. I was looking for a job where I could utilize my customer service skills as well as gain experience in an office setting; so I started looking for jobs on campus. My friend told me about a job opening in the academic advising office, where he also worked, so I decided to apply there. A week after I applied, I received a phone call from the academic advising department. They said they had received my application and were interested in setting up a face to face interview. I really appreciated the fact that they notified me upon receiving my application and promptly set up a face to face interview. A lot of jobs that I applied for in the past took a few weeks to get back to me; so the fact that they got back to me so quickly is one of the things I really appreciated. During the interview, I felt that the interviewer was very professional and was not in a rush to end the interview. In my past experience, I had felt very rushed during the interview process. That is why during my interview with the academic advising department I felt very comfortable because the interviewer was taking her time and was not rushing me. Two days after the interview, I received a phone call from the interviewer saying that I had got the job. On my first day I was a bit nervous because it was a new job and I was not familiar with the environment. However, my boss Debbie...

...advantages in foreign trade transactions not only for exporters but also for importers. Letters of Credit give comfort to exporters regarding the payment. Exporters know that as long as they comply in the terms and conditions of the credit they will be paid. Exporters can demand from a bank to add its guarantee to the Credit in order to overcome various risks such as political risk. Conditions of the Credit will not be changed without the permission and consent of the exporter as long as it is irrevocable. In Letter of credit, normally four parties are involved: (1) The Buyer (the applicant) (2) The Buyer's bank (the issuing) (3) The Beneficiary (the seller/payee) (4) The beneficiary's bank (the ADVISING BANK). (5) The CONFIRMING BANK (often the same as the advising bank) The LC outlines the conditions under which payment (credit) will be made to a third party (the Beneficiary). The conditions are specified by the buyer and may include insurance forms, Way Bills, Bills of Lading, Customs forms, various certificates - i.e. whatever documents the Buyer feels are necessary to safeguard the integrity of the purchased product or service upon delivery. It is the responsibility of the issuing bank to ensure, on behalf of its client (the Buyer), that all documentary conditions have been met before the Letter of Credit funds are released. In effect, a basic Letter of Credit is a financial contract between the...

...I observed two advising appointments with different advisors. Both were walk in appointments with female students wanting to see an advisor to help them pick out classes for winter semester. One student was a graduating senior who also need confirmation about her graduation plans while the other was a freshman who had to come see an advisor because of school policy to get a registration pin removed. While both students came in for the same reason, they also had different needs that the advisors had to address as well and used different strategies in addressing those needs. The first advising appointment I observed was with a senior, white, female student, Jana, majoring in interior design. She came in for a walk in appointment to pick out...

...My personal philosophy of advising comes from three sources; my previous Program Coordinator positions, my academic experiences and from being an English as a Second Language instructor. My academic experiences serve as an important framework that better allows me to understand and identify with a diverse range of students. My experiences of being a first-generation college student with English as a second language present the main ideals that are the backbone of my educational philosophy. As an academic advisor my primary mission is to help students navigate successfully through their academic careers while exploring their educational and career options. My immediate responsibility is to prepare students to be self-sufficient and life-long learners. My obligation is to contribute and remain attentive to issues pertaining to student services and retention. This is especially important when addressing the needs of underrepresented and underserved students. The use of a wide range of advising technique is essential to engaging students of diverse backgrounds. In today’s academic environment, the concept of “traditional” student is virtually outdated. What we once understood as a “standard” type of student is replaced by a student body consisting of individuals of all types of...

...become more in control and free. Today’s Army is composed of Soldiers who have chosen to serve voluntary to achieve various goals in life (Wilson & Smith, 2012). Soldiers may pursue education to get promoted to the next rank or to be able to get a job when they transition to Civilian life (Wilson & Smith, 2012). Recent studies conducted show the unemployment rate among veterans higher than non-veteran unemployment rates. Many Soldiers transition out with no intention to go to college although that was their intention when they joined the Military. Academic counselor have resolved that adult learning theory as a part of life mission is important in advising Soldiers make career based decisions (Wilson & Smith, 2012). Advisors use developmental academic advising, intrusive academic advising and prescriptive academic advising when they have to let students understand their academic goals and expectations (Wilson & Smith, 2012). Adult learning theory focuses on the individual learner, how he processes information and how different learning factors enable him to be in control and independent (Merriam, 2008). Adult learning theory has evolved as a complicated thing that can never be reduced to a simple explanation (Merriam,...
